President Joe Biden’s troubled son Hunter was pictured behind the wheel of his father’s Corvette just outside the Biden home in Delaware, where classified documents were stored in the garage where the president’s prized sports car would be parked.
The photographs, taken in July 2017 and found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, provide further evidence that the now-president’s son likely had access to the garage where classified records had apparently been improperly stored since the end of Joe Biden’s term as vice president in early 2017.
BIDEN DOCUMENTS: FOUR UNANSWERED QUESTIONS IN CLASSIFIED MATERIALS SAGA
Biden’s lawyers have admitted Obama-era records with classified markings on them were found in Biden’s office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington in early November, with more classified documents found in Biden’s garage in Delaware in December. Further classified documents were found in his Delaware home on Thursday.
The laptop photographs show Hunter Biden behind the wheel of his father’s beloved 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray along with two young girls. The Washington Examiner has obscured the identities of the girls due to their young age.
The new photos, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, have been reviewed by the Washington Examiner and are confirmed to have been taken on July 30, 2017, just outside Joe Biden’s Delaware home in Wilmington. Konstantinos “Gus” Dimitrelos, a former Secret Service agent and a cyber forensics expert, confirmed the time and location of the photos on the hard drive.
The Washington Examiner commissioned Dimitrelos to conduct a forensic analysis of the laptop hard drive in 2022, and he concluded there was a “100% certainty” that Hunter Biden was responsible for the activity on the laptop and that the hard drive’s contents were “authentic” with no signs of hacking or manipulation.
Joe Biden was asked last week what he was thinking when he decided to keep classified material next to his Corvette in his garage.
“I’m going to get a chance to speak on all this, God willing, soon, but as I said earlier this week, people — and, by the way, my Corvette is in a locked garage. OK? So, it’s not like they’re sitting out in the street. But at any rate,” the president said before he was asked if the material was in a locked garage.
“Yes, as well as my Corvette,” Biden replied. “But as I said earlier this week, people know I take classified documents and classified material seriously. I also said we’re cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department’s review.”
Also last week, Attorney General Merrick Garland selected former Trump appointee U.S. Attorney Robert Hur on Thursday to serve as special counsel to investigate Biden’s potential mishandling of classified documents.
Joe and Hunter Biden were pictured together in the Corvette during a photo shoot and interview by Popular Mechanics in June 2016.

The caption for the picture said that “for security reasons, vice presidents are rarely allowed to drive — even if they do own a ’67 corvette.” The interview took place in a small classroom at a Secret Service training center in Maryland: Joe Biden came in the Corvette, and his son accompanied him to the interview.
An August 2020 Biden presidential campaign video, called “Joe Biden Gets Vetted,” shows him driving the Corvette around and talking about how much he loves it, and the video ends with him backing it into the garage where classified documents were apparently being stored — with a pile of boxes seen stacked nearby.
Another photograph, this from the Biden for President Flickr page, is part of a collection titled “Behind the Scenes of Joe Biden’s 1967 Corvette Stingray — Wilmington, DE — July 16, 2020.” It is a front shot of Biden smiling near the Corvette with the garage door open behind him.
Joe Biden said that Hunter Biden and his now-deceased son Beau Biden had “decided as a Christmas gift to have the engine rebuilt for me” for the Corvette during an October 2016 appearance on Jay Leno’s Garage, another sign of Hunter Biden’s access to the vehicle and thus his likely access to the garage (then during Joe Biden’s vice presidency).

The president appeared on another episode of Jay Leno’s Garage in October 2022, driving up in the Corvette for the start of the segment.
“I miss it,” Biden said. “Every once in a while, I take the Corvette out of the garage and just run up and down the driveway.”
